Ilya Yefmovich Repin nasceu na cidade de Chuhuiv

Ilya Yefímovich Repin nasceu na cidade de Chuhuiv, perto de Kharkiv, no coração da região histórica chamada Sloboda Ucrânia, em 5 de agosto de 1844. Em 1866, após estágio com um pintor local chamado Bunakov, e estudo preliminar de pintura de retrato, ele foi para São Petersburgo, sendo admitido na “Imperial Academy of Arts”. A partir de 1873 -1876, com subsídio da Academia, Repin passou uma temporada na Itália e viveu em Paris, onde teve contato com o impressionismo francês, que teve forte influência sobre o seu uso de luz e cor. Repin retratou povos do país, tanto ucranianos quanto russos, embora nos últimos anos tenha também pintado os membros da elite imperial russa. Em 1878, Repin aderiu ao livre-pensamento da “Association of Peredvizhniki Artists”, conhecida como “The Wanderers”. Começando a atuar um pouco antes do assassinato do Czar Alexandre II em 1881, o artista pintou uma série de imagens que lidam com o tema do movimento revolucionário russo. Suas obras seguiam os preceitos do realismo, continham uma grande profundidade psicológica e exibiam as tensões da ordem social existente. Em 1889, Alexander Glazunov compôs e dedicou a música “Rhapsody Oriental, op. 29” a Ilya Repin. Sua última pintura, uma tela alegre e exuberante chamada “The Hopak”, era sobre um tema cossaco ucraniano. Morreu em 29 de setembro de 1930 em Kuokkala, Finlândia.

Biography: Ilya Yefimovich Repin was born in the city of Chuhuiv, near Kharkiv, at the heart of the historical region called Sloboda Ukraine, on August 5, 1844. In 1866, after apprenticeship with a local painter named Bunakov, and preliminary study of portrait painting, he went to St. Petersburg, being admitted into the “Imperial Academy of Arts”. From 1873 -1876, with a grant from the Academy, Repin sojourned in Italy and lived in Paris, where he had contact with the French Impressionism, which had strong influence on his use of light and color. Repin depicted people of the country, both Ukrainians and Russians, although, in recent years, he has also painted the members of the Russian imperial elite. In 1878, Repin joined the free-thinking “Peredvizhniki Association of Artists”, known as “The Wanderers”. Beginning to act just before the murder of Czar Alexander II in 1881, the artist painted a series of images dealing with theme of the Russian revolutionary movement. His works followed the precepts of the realism, contained a great psychological depth and displayed the strains of the existing social order. In 1889, Alexander Glazunov wrote and dedicated the song “Oriental Rhapsody, Op. 29”, to Ilya Repin. His last painting, a lively and exuberant canvas called “The Hopak”, was about an Ukrainian Cossack theme.
